Objective: To explore the effects of personality and sleep quality with psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents, so as to provide a reference basis for precise interventions of junior and senior high school students mental health. Methods: In October 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 9 034 students aged 12-17 from Shiyan City as the study subjects. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) were used to collect information on sleep quality and psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Between group comparison was conducted by using t-test and Chi-square test. Generalized linear models were employed to analyze the interaction and joint effects of personality and sleep quality on psychological distress. Results: The generalized linear model analysis showed that the interaction between personality and sleep quality on psychological distress was statistically significant of junior and senior high school students(effect size=0.80, P <0.01). The general linear model analysis indicated that, after adjusting for variables such as age, gender, screen time, and daily sitting time with the extroverted and good sleep quality group as the reference, the introverted and poor sleep quality group had the largest mean difference in psychological distress scores (difference=0.51, P <0.05). When stratified by sleep quality, psychological distress scores were higher in the introverted and neutral personality groups with both poor and good sleep quality compared to the extroverted group (poor sleep quality: introverted difference=3.71, neutral difference=1.14; good sleep quality: introverted difference=2.23, neutral difference=0.57, all P < 0.05). When stratified by personality, psychological distress scores were higher in the poor sleep quality groups for introverted, neutral, and extroverted individuals compared to their good sleep quality counterparts (differences=8.66, 7.83, 7.34, all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Personality and sleep quality have interactive and joint effects on psychological distress of junior and senior high school stduents. Personalized psychological interventions should be developed based on personality and sleep quality.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and short-term effectiveness of three-dimensional (3D)-printed customized porous acetabular components for reconstruction of extensive acetabular bone defects during primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS: The clinical data of 8 patients with extensive acetabular bone defects, who were treated with 3D-printed individualized porous acetabular components between July 2018 and January 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. The cohort comprised 4 males and 4 females with an average age of 48 years ranging from 34 to 56 years. Acetabular bone defects were classified as Paprosky type ⅢA in 3 cases and type ⅢB in 5 cases. The causes of acetabular destruction were hip tuberculosis (5 cases), pigmented villonodular synovitis (2 cases), and syphilitic arthritis (1 case). Visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Harris hip score (HHS) were used to evaluate the pain relief and hip function before and after operation. Reconstruction outcomes were further assessed by imaging results [X-ray film and Tomosynthesis Shimadzumetal artefact reduction technology (T-SMART)], and the mechanical properties were evaluated by finite element analysis. RESULTS: The operation time ranged from 174 to 195 minutes (mean, 187 minutes), and intraoperative blood loss ranged from 390 to 530 mL (mean, 465 mL). All 8 patients were follow-up 26-74 months (mean, 44 months). Among the 5 patients with tuberculosis, none experienced postoperative recurrence. At last follow-up, the VAS score was 0.3±0.5 and the HHS score was 87.9±3.7, both significantly improved compared to preoperative values ( t=25.170, P<0.001; t=-28.322, P<0.001). X-ray films at 2 years after operation demonstrated satisfactory matching between the 3D-printed customized acetabular component and the acetabulum. The postoperative center of rotation of the operated hip was shifted by (2.1±0.5) mm horizontally and (2.0±0.7) mm vertically relative to the contralateral side, with both offsets showing significant differences compared to preoperative values ( t=24.700, P<0.001; t=55.230, P<0.001). T-SMART imaging showed satisfactory osseointegration at the implant-host bone interface. No complications such as aseptic loosening or screw breakage was observed during follow-up. Finite element analysis showed that the acetabular component had good mechanical properties. CONCLUSION The application of 3D-printed individualized porous acetabular components in the reconstruction of extensive acetabular bone defects demonstrated precise anatomical reconstruction, stable mechanical support, and good functional performance in short-term follow-up, offering a potential alternative for acetabular defect reconstruction in primary THA.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the safety and effectiveness of separation surgery in patients with neurological symptoms of spinal metastases. METHODS: From January 2020 to December 2022, 14 patients with neurological symptoms of spinal metastases underwent separation surgery, including 7 males and 7 females, aged from 30 to 76 years old with an average of (61.57±12.16) years old. In comparison with eleven patients underwent conservative treatment during the same period, including 6 males and 5 femals, aged from 46 to 88 years old with an average of (66.55±12.32) years old. The changes in visual analogue scale (VAS), Frankel grades, Karnofsky scores, and quality of life score (QOL) before and after treatment were compared between two groups. RESULTS: Fourteen patients in the separation surgery group underwent surgery successfully, with surgery time of (218.57±50.00) minutes and intraoperative blood loss of (864.29±332.97) ml, 2 patients developed delayed hematoma and recovered well finally after emergency surgery, the follow-up time was 3 to 36 months, after separation surgery, the pain was significantly relieved, and neurological function recovered well in the patients. Three months after treatment, the VAS in the separation surgery group (1.43±0.76) scores was significantly lower than that in the conservative treatment group (8.64±0.51) scores (P<0.05);and the Frankel grades, Karnofsky scores, and QOL scores in the separation surgery group were significantly better than those in the conservative treatment group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION For patients with obvious neurological symptoms of spinal metastases, separation surgery not only can rapidly relieve nerve compression but also carry relatively low surgical risks, and improve the quality of life of patients.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), intricate reticular structures released by activated neutrophils, play a pivotal regulatory role in the pathogenesis of malignant tumors. Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies globally, with persistently high incidence and mortality rates. Recent studies have revealed that NETs dynamically modulate the tumor microenvironment through unique pathological mechanisms, exhibiting complex immunoregulatory characteristics during the progression of lung cancer, and this discovery has increasingly become a focal point in tumor immunology research. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in NETs research related to lung cancer, offering an in-depth analysis of their impact on lung cancer progression, their potential diagnostic value, and the current state of research on targeting NETs for lung cancer prevention and treatment. The aim is to propose novel strategies to enhance therapeutic outcomes and improve the prognosis for lung cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sensitive to ferroptosis, a new form of programmed cell death that occurs in most tumor types. However, the mechanism through which ferroptosis modulates HCC remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the oncogenic role and prognostic value of FANCD2 and provide novel insights into the prognostic assessment and prediction of immunotherapy. METHODS: Using clinicopathological parameters and bioinformatic techniques, we comprehensively examined the expression of FANCD2 macroscopically and microcosmically. We conducted univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to identify the prognostic value of FANCD2 in HCC and elucidated the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the involvement of FANCD2 in oncogenesis by promoting iron-related death. RESULTS: FANCD2 was significantly upregulated in digestive system cancers with abundant immune infiltration. As an independent risk factor for HCC, a high FANCD2 expression level was associated with poor clinical outcomes and response to immune checkpoint blockade. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that FANCD2 was mainly involved in the cell cycle and CYP450 metabolism. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to comprehensively elucidate the oncogenic role of FANCD2. FANCD2 has a tumor-promoting aspect in the digestive system and acts as an independent risk factor in HCC; hence, it has recognized value for predicting tumor aggressiveness and prognosis and may be a potential biomarker for poor responsiveness to immunotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL).Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. Clinical data of patients diagnosed with T-LBL at the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2013 to March 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and their clinical characteristics and prognosis were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 22 T-LBL patients were included. Among them, there were 19 males (86.4%) and 3 females (13.6%), and the median age at onset was 19.5 (15, 28) years old. Based on Ann Arbor staging, 3 cases (13.6%) were classified as stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, while 19 cases (86.4%) were stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ; 10 cases (45.5%) presented with B symptoms, 12 cases (54.5%) without B symptoms; 16 cases (72.7%) showed elevated lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level. At onset, 7 patients (31.8%) had mediastinal masses, 3 patients (13.6%) had central nervous system involvement, and 17 patients (77.3%) had bone marrow involvement. The overall response rate (ORR) and complete remission rate among the 22 patients were 81.82% (18/22) and 31.82% (7/22), respectively. The ORR was 84.21% (16/19) in 19 patients treated with ALL-like regimens. Among 3 patients treated with NHL-like regimens, 1 case achieved complete remission and 1 case achieved partial remission. Seven patients received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, with a median overall survival (OS) time of 22 months; the median OS time of patients without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was 14 months. The 3-year OS rates in the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation group and group without allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were 64.30% and 16.00%, and the difference in OS between the two groups was statistically significant ( P = 0.043). Two patients with disease progression prior to transplantation died of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections after transplantation. Conclusions:T-LBL is rare, and it is a highly aggressive tumor that predominantly occurs in adolescent males. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can prolong OS, reduce relapse and improve the prognosis of patients.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To observe the clinical and imaging features of patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) complicated with retinal artery occlusion (RAO).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. Fifteen patients with 15 eyes with RVO combined with RAO and macular edema diagnosed by ophthalmology examination in the Department of Ophthalmology, First People's Hospital of Xianyang City during 2 years from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2024 were included in the study. Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) combined with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) occurred in 3 cases and 3 eyes. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) complicated with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in 12 eyes. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, scanning laser ophthalmoscope, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) and serum homocysteine were all performed. OCT angiography (OCTA) was performed in 6 eyes. All eyes were treated with intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs. After the initial 1 treatment, dosage was assessed as needed. Follow-up was performed every month for 12 months after treatment. FFA inspection was performed at 3 months. During follow-up, it was found that there were no perfusion areas of capillaries, and retinal laser photocoagulation therapy was given in time. Fundus manifestations, FFA, OCT, OCTA characteristics and causes of disease were analyzed retrospectively.Results:There were 15 eyes in 15 cases, 9 eyes in 9 males; 6 women with 6 eyes. Age was (61.0±9.7) years. All complained of painless vision loss in one eye. All eyes were positive for relative afferent pupillary disorder. Contralateral congenital optic disc defect was in 1 case; hypertension was in 6 cases; hyperhomocysteinemia was in 2 cases; cerebral infarction was in 3 cases; coronary heart disease was in 1 case. CRVO combined with CRAO was in 12 eyes BCVA light sensitivity-0.25. The BCVA of BRVO combined with BRAO were 0.1, 0.4 and 0.25, respectively. All the patients had retinal edema in the posterior pole of the eye, venous sinuous, dilated, thin arteries and stiff shape. The retina presents with flaky or flame-like bleeding. Posterior polar retinal lint patch was in 13 eyes. In 12 eyes with CRVO combined with CRAO, optic disc edema was observed and the boundary was not clear. In 3 eyes with BRVO combined with BRAO, no obvious abnormality was found in the optic disc, and the boundary was clear. FFA examination showed no or prolonged arterial filling, delayed retinal vein laminar flow, relatively slow or even no capillary filling, macular arteriole atretosis to varying degrees, arch ring structure destruction, optic disc telangiectasia and fluorescein leakage. OCT examination showed that the middle and inner layers of the retina were thickened to varying degrees, the diffuse reflex was enhanced, the interlayer structure was unclear, and the reflex of the lower retinal tissue was weakened. The blood flow density of superficial capillary plexus and deep capillary plexus (DCP) decreased in 6 eyes undergoing OCTA examination. Decreased or interrupted blood flow in the vascular bed of DCP. During the follow-up period, there were 13 eyes with no perfusion area of retinal capillary. The time of occurrence was (1.14±0.95) (0-2) months, and the area was 10-75 disc area. Optic nerve atrophy occurred in 5 eyes. At the last follow-up, visual acuity increased, unchanged and decreased in 12, 2 and 1 eyes, respectively.Conclusions:The pathogenesis of RVO-RAO is complicated. Most RVO and RAO occurred simultaneously, and a few RVO occurred several days after RAO. Although the RAO manifestations are not typical, the radiographic features are both RVO and RAO. Compared with BVRO combined with BRAO, the prognosis of visual acuity in CRAO patients with CRVO is worse.

Renal fibrosis is a devastating consequence of progressive chronic kidney disease,representing a major public health challenge worldwide.The underlying mechanisms in the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis remain unclear,and effective treatments are still lacking.Renal tubular epithelial cells(RTECs)maintain kidney function,and their dysfunction has emerged as a critical contributor to renal fibrosis.Cellular quality control comprises several components,including telomere homeostasis,ubiquitin-proteasome system(UPS),autophagy,mitochondrial homeostasis(mitophagy and mitochondrial metabolism),endoplasmic reticulum(ER,unfolded protein response),and lysosomes.Failures in the cellular quality control of RTECs,including DNA,protein,and organelle damage,exert profibrotic functions by leading to senescence,defective autophagy,ER stress,mitochondrial and lysosomal dysfunction,apoptosis,fibro-blast activation,and immune cell recruitment.In this review,we summarize recent advances in un-derstanding the role of quality control components and intercellular crosstalk networks in RTECs,within the context of renal fibrosis.
